Have I ever told you how rad Bernie is? Oh, yeah, I guess I ramble on about it sometimes so I’ll just stop now.

Exhausted from yesterday I brought Ollie and his buddy to the Lville skatepark in the morning.  They had a blast.  Cooper was falling all over the place.  I was chilling for the most part, but having a good time.  I was having fun ollieing onto the little manny pad then ollieing into the bank.  Trying to get me Neil on I guess.  I tried to grind around a corner over a patch of snow, but never landed it although I did jump into the snow a couple times.  We left after Ollie stomped two body varials on the flat bank.  So rad.  As we were leaving he tried a body varial off the curb and ate it.  Even radder though since he laughed it off.

Helped Brian with skate lessons at 10am and brought Ollie.  I went to Louisville first because there was snow and we were to tell anyone to go to Rock Creek.  While waiting I just did a bunch of ollies on the flat bank which was really fun.  So then it was off to Rock Creek.  I myself didn’t really skate much but it was fun helping kids out and watching Ollie cruise around.  While waiting for the crew to assemble Jake, Rob and I played a game of SKATE that ended with me beating Jake on a nollie 360 flip second try.  Stoked!  Unfortunately Brian started with us, but took an absolutely horrible slam on a switch frontside 180.  Next up was Southern Hills.  I was trying to take my new found trick of noseslide 270s to the blue benches, but I never got it.  In fact I really didn’t get much at all.  Jason was killing it though.  He filmed a couple lines.  Brian was still hurting.  Jake, Rob and I played another game of SKATE that went on a long time and was a blast.  I landed my first ever 360 shove it to somehow stay in the game then come back and beat Jake with a fakie bigflip to surprise rollaway aka I didn’t think I had it at all.  Lastly a curb session ensued where Rob killed it with back 270 back tails and I landed a few no comply 270 back tails.  Sean Kelly had showed up at the end of the session so we had to skate more.  Red curbs.  Nate met up with us too.  At first I didn’t think I’d be able to skate anymore.  I ended up getting into a bit of a groove and got a few noseslide 270s.  Fun.  Neil was killing it.  Sean too.  Nate took the worst slam as the session ended.  I need to go back and film a run there.  Fs 5-0 (or slappy tailslide), noseslide 270 then no comply 270 back tail.  Could be rad.  Totally fun day of skateboarding.

Brian, Neil and I headed to campus on a pretty warm night.  There was still some snow around, but it wasn’t too bad.  We kind of dorked our way from the car over to the slappy curbs where we spent the majority of the session.  There is curb cut up the road a little further which makes for a fun line.  Trick off the curb cut, manual or curb trick, slappy and then there is a little gap to ollie up.  Neil was pretty beat from skating all day in the nice 55 degree weather.  Lucky Basterd.  Ha.  Brian had a fun run going.  Ollie off the curb cut, ollie onto curb, no comply tailslide thing, slappy.  Dope.  I had a bad ollie off the curb cut, manual on the sidewalk, slappy, ollie up the gap.  Fun times.
